Most of the city’s skyscrapers were built in the boom years after WWII, but the city’s first skyscraper, the 36-story Martinelli Building, was built in 1929. It too offers city views from its roof. As you walk through Centro Velho, you’ll be aware of the hum of traffic. Those sounds and blaring horns are rising from the highway that was built in the Anhangabaú River bed.
Since the city was built on both banks of that river, two viaducts were built over it, as was Parque Anhangabaú, a civic plaza and park that spans the highway. It is a half-mile long and beautifully landscaped. It’s a good spot to take a break before crossing into the other part of the historic center called Nova Centro (New Centro).
You can walk across Parque Anhangabaú or one of the high viaducts – the pedestrian-only Via St. Ifigênia, north of the plaza and Viaduto do Chá, south of it. Weekdays, 10:30 am-4 pm.
